MI HR0270

Urges the Michigan Attorney General to increase scrutiny of interlocal governmental agreements and take necessary steps to provide oversight of such agreements.

Requires that any interlocal agreement involving the state of Michigan undergo biennial audits conducted by the Auditor General and be reauthorized by the Governor.

Addresses concerns that local interlocal agreements may be informal with no recording requirements or effective oversight, leading to situations where local units are unaware of their own agreements.

Recognizes intergovernmental cooperation as a cost-reducing strategy for maintaining services across jurisdictional boundaries while noting the need for state-level monitoring as these agreements become more prevalent.

Directs copies of the resolution to be transmitted to the Office of the Governor, the Attorney General, and the Office of the Auditor General.
